Hello all,
Update on the complete challenge
Here are some posts to get you started if you jumped into this challenge, and didn't get the full context:
Smarter Life Challenge Competitors (thanks joeman!)
Overview - week 2 of PSOC Design Challenge
A word about deadlines
This is a challenge; probably the greatest challenge will be to get your projects finished in time! The community of element14 will also choose a winner, by public voting. That voting opens at December 16th, so it would be nice to have a nice post about your project by that time, just to get a good total view of what you've done. The voting, and the challenge, remains open until the 17th of January.

"My weekly view"
A lot of you decided to take a side step from exploring the PSOC platform. Some people had a very fruitful Thanksgiving (Jianyi), otheyers didn't find time to do the things they would have liked to do (Peter Shabino). All in all, looking over the week, people start thinking about how their final prodtuct should look like. What features should be implemented (Abjihit)? Will my board layout be OK (Linas, Jianyi, Paul)? Can I make a neat-looking product (Monte)?
Also some people haven't told in the forums about what they've done in the last weeks. A few of them have already promissed to do updates, in general I'm very happy with the involvement so far. Also, a big thank-you to Gagan and Cypress, as I've seen a lot of help coming from Cypress to the engineers. Thumbs up!
